Cabinet by Flemming Olsen for C.B. Hansen's Establishment, Denmark 1940s

Creator: C.B. Hansens Etabl. (Co.)
Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
Danish modern design remains popular today due to its clean lines, functionalism, and timeless aesthetic. Ultimately, it offers a combination of beauty and practicality that remains highly sought after, even for contemporary interiors. With its distinctive structure, this cabinet epitomises the Danish modern era, when material and design would become the lead factors in achieving stability, durability, and of course, an aesthetically pleasing outcome.

The craftsmanship of this cabinet is evident in the precision of the woodwork, reflecting the standards of furniture making at the time. Inside, the piece offers ample storage space and shelves and does not shy from decorative flair. Its wide surfaces and the straight lines are also perfect to showcase the workmanship. As a fundamentally functional type of furniture, this cabinet does more than serving its utilitarian purpose. Even though the design primarily aims to serve as storage space, it can meld seamlessly with any style due to its elegant sense of whimsy. The doors on the front can be opened with the help of keys, a small and charming feature. The inside compartments can also serve as a nifty bar, or glassware cabinet.

This piece preserves the value and beauty of master craftsmanship and exquisite materials. Danish designers like Flemming Olsen were and are still world-renowned for their unmatched skill that distinguishes mid-century furniture.
